Accountancy & Finance Recruitment.
The right people in your finance team make everything else easier. We help you find them.


Growth creates complexity. Responsibilities blur, communication slows, and leaders end up firefighting instead of moving the business forward.
JH Consultancy works with ambitious SMEs to bring clarity, structure and operational confidence back to the business, so the next stage of growth actually works.
Who We Work With
We work with SMEs that are growing, or want to.
Typically businesses with 20 to 150 people, a leadership team under pressure and a sense that things need to be more structured before the next hire or the next phase of growth can land properly.
We work directly with founders, MDs, CEOs, COOs and Operations Directors. People who are close enough to the problem to know something needs to change.
Temporary Recruitment
Flexible, short-term staffing made simple. From single-day temp cover to longer contracts and temp-to-perm solutions.
Permanent Recruitment
Across key business functions, we help organisations hire standout professionals who are in it for the long haul.

Organisation Design
As businesses grow, structures that worked at 10 people stop working at 50. We help leadership teams design organisations that are clear, accountable and built for the next stage rather than the last one.

Workforce Planning
Most businesses hire reactively. We help you get ahead of it. We work with leadership teams to forecast capability requirements, identify gaps and build hiring strategies that align with where the business is actually going.

Operational Improvement
Friction in a business is expensive, in time, in cost and in leadership energy. We identify where processes are breaking down and help teams work more effectively, with clearer accountability and less noise.

AI Readiness & Adoption
Most businesses know AI matters. Very few know where to start. We identify where AI can create genuine value in your business and build practical adoption plans that your teams can actually use. No hype, no unnecessary complexity.

Leadership Advisory
As businesses grow, leadership challenges grow with them. We work with directors and senior teams on decision-making, accountability and the operating rhythm that keeps a scaling business on track.

Growth Readiness
Before scaling, businesses need the right foundations. We assess what's in place, identify the blockers and create a clear roadmap for sustainable expansion.

Start With an Organisational Health Check
Not every business needs a consultancy project.
That's why we've developed our Organisational Health Check, a structured assessment that gives leadership teams a clear picture of where the business is strong and where it's holding itself back.
We benchmark your organisation across six areas:
- Structure & Accountability
- Workforce Planning
- Leadership Effectiveness
- Operational Performance
- Growth Readiness
- AI Readiness
You receive a detailed report with practical recommendations. Not a generic scorecard, but a specific assessment of your business and what it needs next.
Investment: £200. Included as standard with all consultancy engagements.

Our Approach
Diagnose
We start by understanding the business properly, through interviews, workshops and organisational diagnostics. We want to know where the friction is, not just where people think it is.
Design
Using those insights, we develop practical recommendations tailored to your business, your people and your ambitions. No generic frameworks. No off-the-shelf solutions.
Deliver
Where needed, we work alongside your leadership team to support implementation. The goal is lasting improvement, not a report that sits on a shelf.
Who We Work With
Most consultancies understand strategy. Most recruiters understand people. Very few understand how the two connect.
JH Consultancy was built because successful growth isn't just about hiring great people. It's about creating an organisation where great people can thrive.
Backed by more than two decades of recruitment expertise, we combine strategic organisational advice with real-world insight into talent, leadership and commercial growth.
We don't just recommend what your business should look like. We help you build it.
